Exploring the corridors
Sienna had only been at Hogwarts for a short amount of time before she began to explore the castle. She had only really seen the Slytherin Common Room, the Great Hall, a few classrooms, and obviously the quidditch pitch. But the castle was so vast, so she wondered what lied beyond the places she visited everyday.
Sienna didn't have a lot of free time in her day between classes, studying, and practicing quidditch. The only time she knew was free for her exploring was late at night, when she knew she wasn't supposed to be wandering the castle. But Sienna was never a rule follower before, so why should she change her ways now?
When the rest of the girls in her dorm went to sleep, Sienna lied awake, waiting until she was sure no one would hear her get up. When she deemed it safe, she slipped on a pair of shoes and pulled a robe on over her green silk pajamas. Tip-toeing out of the room and through the common area, Sienna was careful to not wake anyone.
When she knew the coast was clear in the hallways, she made her way out of the dungeons and found herself at the changing staircase. Still a bit confused on how those operated, she stepped on one as it was about to move. It let her off at one of the doors to a classroom. Boring, she thought as she stepped onto the next moving staircase. This one let her off at an unknown door, however, so she turned the knob and stepped inside. Sienna believed it to be the second floor, which she wasn't very familiar with yet.
As she explored the corridors of the second floor, she thought she heard shuffling in the hallways, but decided to ignore it. But as the sound got louder and closer, she realized she couldn't ignore it. Sienna quickly found a doorway to place herself in to wait for whoever, or whatever, was making the sound to pass. The sound continued at a quicker pace, until it finally stopped. Sienna peered around the doorway to see what it was.
Standing in the corridor looking back at her, was another student.

Exploring the corridors
It's been a few weeks since Klynn had arrived at Hogwarts and he had say... not much has happened. Don't get it wrong, he's glad he's avoided attention and stuck to the background (despite a few instances in which he was dragged out from that) but he was hoping that there would be something interesting to happen in general.
That interesting thing had yet to happen, however, and so the only mildly entertaining thing to happen around here was his current predicament. All he wanted was to go to bed for the night, but instead the corridors had to be so ever changing that he ended up lost in the corridors. His aunt had told him of a place called "IKEA" and that she almost couldn't get out the only time she went there... this seemed like a similar experience.
As he was wondering the corridor, he pulled out a book from his bag on Defence Against the Dark Arts, and read it to pass the time while walking. After a while he took a break and saw someone at the end of the corridor, though he couldn't see who, other than another student. He was sure everyone was in bed, so he came to the only other conclusion he could think of...
"Uh, hi. Are you lost as well?"

Sienna's heart was beating rapidly, afraid she would be caught by a professor and get sent to detention, or worse, expelled. She tried not to think about those possibilities though. As she turned to face the student looking back at her, they let out a few words.
"Uh, hi. Are you lost as well?" The boy asked her, with an unreadable expression on his face.
"Does it look like I'm lost?" Sienna answered sarcastically. "No, I thought you were a professor," she said as she stepped completely out of the doorway she was still hidden in. "I'm just exploring..." she continued. "I'm guessing you're lost though."
Sienna had to stop herself from rambling any further, at his expense and hers. She didn't know if this boy would tell a professor that he saw her wandering or not. But she knew that wouldn't really work in his favor either, because he too was out when he wasn't supposed to be. So, in hopes that the boy wouldn't tell on her, she introduced herself as nicely as possible.
"Sorry, how rude of me, I didn't introduce myself before rambling just now. Hi, I'm Sienna." After she let out those last few words though, she immediately regretted it. She internally slapped her forehead for making it easier for the boy tell on her. All she could do now was hope that he wasn't a snitch, otherwise her castle exploring would end before it even began.

The figure turned to him and the light from the hall's torches revealed the student in question. He recognised her from the Sorting Ceremony, but couldn't put a name to the face. She had golden blonde hair that reached roughly 2 inches below her shoulders. She also had blue eyes from what he could make out in the dimly lit hall.
"Does it look like I'm lost? No, I thought you were a professor. I'm just exploring..."
The first part of her reply was full of sarcasm, he should of guessed that would be a response. As she continued Klynn realised that she had snuck out of the dorms to wonder the place. Was she going to be one of those type of people. Just perfect.
"I'm guessing you're lost though."
Klynn's face didn't change in the slightest during the whole interaction. He simply stood there listening to her continued rambling as I waited for her to focus again.
"Sorry, how rude of me, I didn't introduce myself before rambling just now. Hi, I'm Sienna."
Now it was Klynn's turn to be sarcastic, and he will enjoy it with all his being.
"Oh, I may be lost? What gave it away? The fact I asked if you were lost as well?"
Klynn just sighs, keeping his blank face, and monotone voice all the same.
"Yes, I'm lost. A pleasure to meet you, Sienna, my name is Klynn Seacrown."

Thankfully, the boy in the corridor didn't run to snitch on her, but he sure was sarcastic. In his defense though, Sienna started it. "Oh, I may be lost?" He continued, "What gave it away? The fact that I asked if you were lost as well?"
Two could play that game, she thought as she rolled her eyes. But she didn't think he noticed, as he continued by introducing himself. His name was Klynn Seacrown.
"That's a," she paused trying to think of the right word. "...unique name." She didn't mean it to be insulting but she really never heard of a name like that before. "I've just never heard of that before, that's all I mean by that."
As she was speaking, or more like rambling again, she noticed the color of his robes in the dim light of the torches. Green, for Slytherin. She wondered if he was lying about being lost, and clearly he was sneaky because she had never seen him around the dorms either. But she didn't want to make any premature judgments, because then again, she was still new to Hogwarts and he might not be a first year. So she decided to ask him instead of speculating.
"Oh, so you're a Slytherin too. Are you sure you aren't sneaking around? And how come I haven't see you in the common room before either?"

A unique name? I never thought it was that unique. Oh well.
"Well, if I had to hazard a guess, I would say it's because I'm not one to be in social situations. Alongside that, I'm just very good at making people not notice I'm there. I don't even do it on purpose, this one time, I walked with someone for 15 minutes then said 'hi', they jumped and looked at me in shock. 'How long were you there?', they asked me. So, yeah, I'm not surprised you didn't notice me."
Then came time for him to address her other question, if he really was sneaking around.
"No, I am not sneaking around. I can see why you would think that: being a Slytherin yourself and doing that exact thing. But no, I am genuinely lost."
Then he had a questioning look on his face as he realised what he said and what she implied.
"Wait, why are you out here? I swear we are meant to be in the dorms, so why are you sneaking around?"
What could she be looking for around here? Is she just curious, or is she a trouble maker? Either way, one thing was for sure... he was going to have some lovely entertainment.

Sienna listened to Klynn- still not really understanding that name- talk about why she hadn't seen him around until now. It was more like rambling, but she wasn't going to be ruder than she already had been. She wasn't too keen on getting into a fight with someone who could land her in detention.
After he told her his story about basically "sneaking" up on someone, she once again considered responding with a slightly rude statement, but right after he accused her of sneaking around like a shady Slytherin.
"Nice to know you think so highly of yourself, Mr. I'm Genuinely Lost," she offered him a not so nice scowl. "What exactly are you implying? That I'm the shady one? For all I know you could be lying."
It was very obvious that she was deflecting, so once again to avoid a fight, she just decided to tell the truth.
"I wouldn't consider it sneaking around," she said with a sigh. "I'd call it...exploring. I have no time in my stupid schedule and I was just curious. That's all."
Then she added, "I won't tell on you, if you won't tell on me. I'll even help you get back to where you need to go." Then she looked around at where she was and realized even she was lost. "If I knew where I was going..."

Klynn couldn't help but tilt his head in confusion: when did he imply he thought so highly of himself? He was sure all he did was answer her question. He didn't dwell on it too much as she confirmed his suspicion that she was just exploring. Didn't make much difference, it'd be entertaining none the less.
"Well, I'll ignore the scowl on your face and request a truce. The two of us put up with each other and make our way back to the dorms. After that, we try our best to avoid each other, and we never have to deal with each other again. Deal? Or will you end up to attached by then?"
Klynn figured she'd be the type of person to dislike a random person teasing her like that, so he figured this would be the best way for her to help him get back to the dorms. After all, why else would he need to talk with others if not for his own entertainment? He was going to make sure that from here until they reach the dorms, he was going to get as much entertainment out of this experience as possible.
He extended his hand as he awaited her to take his deal, or continue to act (in his eyes) snobby and pretend she has moral high ground.
